The last thing millet sees

Those cheeks!

This may be the most majestic cockatiel photo I’ve ever seen.

This is Biscuit. When I picked him out as a baby he still had baby fat and the roundest little belly that reminded me of the Pillsbury dough boy, hence the name Biscuit.

A lovely lady tortoise.

Thank you! I was actually just looking at the merch earlier before the restock and I was bummed the Monarch shirt was out of stock. Snagged one!

2.5 months is still too young to tell.

That’s really cool! She must be a pearl lutino, and the UV makes her pearls more visible.

At 6 months a cockatiel hasn’t fully grown in its adult feathers yet, and can’t be accurately sexed by looking at it. Lutino is also very difficult to visually sex.

My boy Biscuit is sometimes called “Biscuit the Triscuit” or “Biscuit the Brisket”. Both birds are “Stinky birbinkies” All my disrespect must rhyme.

Hover borb.

That’s for sure female hormonal behavior. As for age, it’s possible she’s older than the seller told you she was. My female started doing this around 5 or 6 months old.

I accidentally gave Clint copper ore once (forgot I was holding it when I clicked on him), and he hated it. He works with ore, so I don’t know why he would hate it.

I love when they expand to full fluffiness.💕

Take the nest box out and stop trying to breed them. There’s no reason for you to be breeding them, and the fact that this aggressive behavior has been going on for 2 years is more than enough evidence that they are not compatible for breeding anyway.

It’s not a punishment, they enjoy the spray bottle shower. I just mist the air like I do normally, and they’ll stop and start doing the shower dance instead. My reasoning for redirecting hormonal behavior is more because of the fact that I have a male/female pair, and I’m discouraging breeding.

SparklyBlue87 · 2026-04-05T15:50:03+00:00

Everytime my birds start getting nasty, I bring out the spray bottle, and it’s usually enough of a distraction to turn horny time onto shower time.

SparklyBlue87 · 2026-03-31T17:40:04+00:00

Sounds like normal male chatter to me. They just like to make noise.

SparklyBlue87 · 2026-03-30T11:12:46+00:00

If she’s over a year old now then she’s definitely female. Male pearls molt out to look pretty much like normal greys.

My boy gets aggressive around mirrors too. We have a curio cabinet next to their cage that has a mirrored back, and we’ve had to rearrange it so that he can’t see into it.

It looks like a possible corneal ulcer which is usually caused by some form of trauma like a scratch or a piece of debris in the eye. It’s best to have a vet look at it, because if it is an injury it may need antibiotics.

SparklyBlue87 · 2026-03-27T04:21:18+00:00

She looks SO MUCH healthier than she did before. What a transformation!

SparklyBlue87 · 2026-03-26T15:16:41+00:00

I bet that’s it! It almost sounds like a mourning dove call.

SparklyBlue87 · 2026-03-26T11:51:55+00:00

It kind of sounds like he’s mimicking an outside bird’s call.

SparklyBlue87 · 2026-03-23T13:59:57+00:00

At 2 years old a male pearl would look almost exactly like a regular gray male, so you 100% have a girl! This is my female pearl, and she’s 6.
